Assistant Coroner Dr Elizabeth Didcock concluded that her death was suicide and told her parents today, Friday: "I don't think anyone around her could predict what she did. It was not a preventable death."

Her parents are forming a charity inspired by a mystery message she left behind.Among her possessions was a doodle that reads "help me", with the message changing to "I'm fine" when turned upside down.

That now features on a badge created by her parents, which has a purple background - Maisie's favourite colour.

A sensory garden and wellbeing courses at schools will honour the memory of the teenager.

After the inquest at Nottingham Council House, her mother Helen Cousin said: "We have received such wonderful support from people.

"We are very proud of her and are proud of the charity we are forming called 'Help Me I'm Fine.' We want it to support others.

"We believe Maisie might have seen something on the internet about those words and developed the idea. People are very keen on the badges," added Helen, 46, a teaching assistant of Misterton.

Maisie's mother told the hearing she was concerned about the failure to get into the phone and check details of messages. On the day she was last seen alive, many messages came in and Maisie answered some of them.

The inquest heard of Maisie's family history which had been recorded by her GP.

"There was no mention of depression or other mental health issues. They have no expression of risk to herself or to others," the coroner said.
